…ngs integrated (Otto-101)

Delta-style revision integrating only the 3 CRITICAL findings
from Aminata's Otto-100 pass (PR #284) into Otto-99's
bullshit-detector design (PR #282). 7 non-CRITICAL findings
deferred to v2 delta; DISMISS unchanged.

Three CRITICAL integrations:

**C1 — Cross-detector collusion (new §Reviewer-cone overlap
section).** Acknowledges as FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATION NOT
CLOSABLE GAP: detector cannot break its own reviewer-set
lineage coupling. Mitigation via routing authority:
- Human sign-off = only cone-breaking authority for
  authorization-impacting band=supported queries.
- External-reviewer signatures as legitimate cone-breakers
  when available.
- Intra-factory reviewer concordance should DOWNGRADE
  confidence per SD-9, not inflate.
- Every receipt carries reviewer_cone_signature field.

**C2 — Min-merging Goodhart-bait (sensitivity-analysis-gate
pattern).** v1 enhancement:
  band(y|q) = if band_raw=GREEN AND G_carrier_overlap closest
              to threshold → YELLOW
              else band_raw
Closes cheap cheat path (threshold-hugging on author-
controlled gate). Alternative content-similarity-in-cone
deferred to v2 cost-benefit.

**C3 — G_evidence fig-leaf (new §v0 scope subsection).** v0
effective = 4-gate classifier (G_evidence advisory-only until
independent-oracle substrate ships). `likely confabulated`
output type explicitly marked not-yet-reachable in v0.
Conservative under-detection stance (RED comes only from
known-bad-pattern; confabulations land YELLOW as plausible-
but-unresolved). v0→v1 transition plan names
DetectorOutputBatchRetracted for historical re-classification.

v1 delta does NOT rewrite Otto-99's design; specifies 3
additive sections to insert + 1 section to supersede. Otto-99
original preserved in git history.

Seven non-CRITICALs still open:
- 4 IMPORTANT (deferred to v2): G_coverage_plausibility gate;
  Otto-wake second-reviewer schema; DetectorOutputBatchRetracted;
  no-signal vs kNN-evasion.
- 3 WATCH (deferred to v2+): distribution histogram;
  adversarial worked example; TLA+ invariants.

1 fundamental limitation (C1) acknowledged not closed —
routes authority to human + external reviewer layers.

Scope limits: no design rewrite; no implementation; no
human-sign-off UI proposal; no content-similarity-in-cone
commit; 5-gate/5-type target structure unchanged.

5 dependencies-to-adoption: Aminata pass on v1 delta (fifth
session-pass); integrate v1 changes into Otto-99 design PR
(separate PR); v2 delta; independent-oracle substrate;
human-sign-off UI/protocol.

* fix(#286): 5 review threads — veridicality vocab (body, filename rename backlogged) + header-fields + name attrib + table count + DRIFT-TAXONOMY xref

- Thread 1 (PRRT_kwDOSF9kNM59SpxP): compacted four archive-header
  fields (Scope / Attribution / Operational status / Non-fusion
  disclaimer) into first six lines so "Archive-header self-applied"
  claim is now accurate; removed the trailing claim sentence in
  favour of the structural compliance itself.
- Thread 2 (PRRT_kwDOSF9kNM59Spxg): shifted body vocabulary from
  "bullshit-detector" to "veridicality-detector" throughout; added a
  vocabulary-note paragraph explaining the filename-slug retention;
  appended BACKLOG P2 research-grade row for the cross-repo filename
  rename sweep (three doc files + link-update across PRs / round-
  history / memory-index). Otto-229 append-only discipline observed.
- Thread 3 (PRRT_kwDOSF9kNM59Spxl): converted persona-specific names
  ("Aminata", "Otto-99/100/101", "Aaron", "Max", "Codex", "Soraya")
  to role references (Aminata-persona / main-agent persona /
  maintainer / external-peer-agent / formal-methods-persona).
- Thread 4 (PRRT_kwDOSF9kNM59Spx1): corrected §"v0 scope" header
  from "four gates + four reachable output types" to "five gates
  (four active + one advisory) + five reachable output types (one
  dead-code)", matching the tables that list 5 gates and 6 output
  types (5 reachable + 1 not-yet-reachable).
- Thread 5 (PRRT_kwDOSF9kNM59Spx-): "DRIFT-TAXONOMY pattern 5"
  softened to point at actual precursor file
  docs/research/drift-taxonomy-bootstrap-precursor-2026-04-22.md,
  noting there is no canonical docs/DRIFT-TAXONOMY.md at time of
  writing.

* fix(#286): 5 new review threads — inline-code single-line (BACKLOG) + sweep-refs skill path (BACKLOG) + Output-types wording (§5) + fail-to-RED typo + PR-#282 annotation on dead-path

Resolves the 5 new copilot findings on commit 40a5de9 plus
rebases onto origin/main (append-only per Otto-229; both
rows retained in BACKLOG.md conflict resolution).

- BACKLOG row rewritten so `docs/research/provenance-aware-
  bullshit-detector-*` inline-code fits on a single line
  (markdown inline-code cannot span newlines).
- BACKLOG row points at the `sweep-refs` skill at
  `.claude/skills/sweep-refs/SKILL.md` (verified to exist)
  instead of the non-existent `tools/sweep-refs/*` path.
- Delta-doc "§5 output types" wording changed to "the Output
  types section" to avoid the §5-as-count misread.
- Delta-doc `fail-to-RED` joined on a single line (was
  split across a line-break, read as a malformed token).
- Delta-doc references to the base-design file
  (`provenance-aware-bullshit-detector-2026-04-23.md`) now
  annotated "(in PR #282 — not yet on main at time of this
  delta's writing)" so readers know the path is a forward
  reference, not a dead one.

…on (#636)

* tick-history: 18:02Z sync option-c COMPLETE + substrate transition

Sync work done. Task #284 marked completed.

Forward-sync PRs landed: #592 batch-1, #633 batch-2 (23 per-row-files), #634 batch-3 in CI, #635 batch-4. Batches 5+6 ALL SUPERSEDED-DISCARD per Otto-347 2nd-agent verify. Reverse-sync via Option C (close PR #15, UPSTREAM-RHYTHM cadence going forward).

Substrate yield exceeded sync output: ~12 memory files + 3 lineage anchors (harbor+blade=Radical Candor, SRE-as-Substrate-RE, Rodney's-Razor=Occam+Brooks+Kolmogorov+Bennett+Gell-Mann) emerged during the sync work. Otto-347 2nd-agent verify load-bearing in both directions (caught real loss on #618 + confirmed 7 SUPERSEDED calls).

…026-04-27) (#49)

Aaron 2026-04-27 conversation produced two paired substrate landings:

1. **0-diff is start line, until then we're hobbling** — AceHack-LFG
   content-divergence (53 files / 6065 lines) isn't polish; it's the
   gate to factory operational status. #43's diff-minimization
   invariant DEFINES "started." Reverse-sync work is high-priority,
   not optional cleanup.

2. **LFG=master, AceHack=0-divergence fork, double-hop** — strategic
   topology reframe replacing Option C's parallel-SHA-history-accepted
   model:
   - LFG is master/canonical/published source of truth.
   - AceHack is a pure fork: 0 commits ahead AND 0 commits behind LFG
     after every paired-sync round.
   - Double-hop workflow: work lands on AceHack first → forward-sync
     to LFG → hard-reset AceHack main = LFG main (AceHack absorbs
     LFG's squash-SHA).
   - Force-push to AceHack main is part of the protocol; force-push
     to LFG main is forbidden.
   - Done criterion: \`git diff acehack/main..origin/main\` empty AND
     \`git rev-list --count\` returns 0 both directions.

Both memory files cross-reference each other: the first frames the
"start" gate, the second describes the topology that operationalizes
it.

This composes with task Lucent-Financial-Group#284 (Option C now superseded), task Lucent-Financial-Group#302
(UPSTREAM-RHYTHM bidirectional drift now resolved by the new model),
Otto-340 (substrate-IS-identity — LFG IS the canonical identity),
Otto-238 (force-push to AceHack is retractable; force-push to LFG
forbidden).

…rip plan (task Lucent-Financial-Group#302) (#31)

* adr(sync-drain): canonicalize AceHack <-> LFG option-c 7-step round-trip plan (task Lucent-Financial-Group#302)

Why:
- Aaron 2026-04-26 asked "do you have the 7 step plan?" and Otto had
  to reconstruct from git history because the plan lived as commits
  + tick-history rows, not a single doc.
- The plan ITSELF is reusable — every sync drain cycle going forward
  follows the same shape — but without a canonical doc each future
  agent has to re-reconstruct.
- Aaron offered "if you want it as a permanent ADR / canonical-plan
  doc, that's a small follow-up I can ship". Picking it up.
- Per Aaron's "we got tons to do" framing: this is real shippable
  work that doesn't queue noise.

What:
- New file docs/DECISIONS/2026-04-26-sync-drain-plan-acehack-lfg-roundtrip-option-c.md
  (~150 lines)
- Archive-header §33 compliance (Scope / Attribution / Operational
  status / Non-fusion disclaimer)
- Decision: option-c (cherry-pick-with-rewrites) chosen over options
  a/b/d with rejection rationale per option
- 7-step round-trip plan documented with commit refs, PRs, and
  tick-history anchors:
  1. batch-1: foundation files (PR Lucent-Financial-Group#592, commit 1c1bd95)
  2. batch-2: BACKLOG row migration (PR Lucent-Financial-Group#633, commits a3b7e24/fecd8d0)
  3. batch-3: terminology canonicalization (PR Lucent-Financial-Group#634, commits ff4ee39/a1d781c)
  4. batch-4: bug fixes + tooling hygiene (PR Lucent-Financial-Group#635, commit 05d274f)
  5. closure: tick-history + substrate transition (commit e4b1fa2)
  6. reverse leg: LFG -> AceHack via 7-parallel-subagent merge (PR #26)
  7. steady state: UPSTREAM-RHYTHM batched cadence (every ~10 PRs)
- Consequences (positive + negative + mitigations) documented
- Convergence test: if next sync drain cycle modifies <= 1 step, the
  template is stable; if 3+ modifications, overfit and needs revision
- Composes with 8 sibling memories + 2 prior ADRs + tasks Lucent-Financial-Group#284 and Lucent-Financial-Group#302

Closes the documentation gap surfaced when Aaron asked the 7-step-plan
question. Future sync drain cycles can adopt this template directly.

* fix(pr-31): address review threads (3 form-1 + 2 form-2 + 1 form-1 prose-fix)

- **3 feedback files brought in-repo** per the 2026-04-24
  in-repo-canonicalization shift (`feedback_natural_home_of_memories_is_in_repo_now_all_types_glass_halo_full_git_native_2026_04_24.md`):
    - feedback_fork_pr_cost_model_prs_land_on_acehack_sync_to_lfg_in_bulk.md
    - feedback_parallel_subagent_dispatch_for_content_preserving_merge_pattern_2026_04_26.md
    - feedback_dont_invent_when_existing_vocabulary_exists.md
  Resolves Codex P2 thread (line 124) + Copilot threads (line 125, 60)
  about non-existent feedback citations. The files existed in user-scope
  memory; the in-repo copy makes the cross-references resolvable per
  Otto-339 + the directional shift toward in-repo canonicalization.

- **Citation-convention preamble** added to "## 7-step round-trip
  structure" before Step 1 documenting the repo-default for
  bare SHAs/PR numbers (Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta for steps 1-6,
  AceHack/Zeta for step 7 with explicit inline deviations). Step 1's
  citations qualified explicitly as a reference example. Resolves
  Codex P2 thread (line 47) about bare-short-SHA verification
  ambiguity.

Threads being closed as form-2 (already-addressed) with replies:

- Thread 3 (Copilot, line 8): ADR header IS structured — uses the
  GOVERNANCE §33 archive-header format (Scope/Attribution/Operational
  status/Non-fusion disclaimer) which is the post-2026-04-26 standard
  for cross-substrate ADRs. The Date/Status/Deciders convention from
  earlier ADRs (2026-04-20-tools-scripting-language.md) is the
  pre-§33 format; both encode the same metadata in different keys.

- Thread 4 (Copilot, line 12): GOVERNANCE.md §33 DOES exist at line
  765 ("Archived external conversations require boundary headers")
  — verified via `grep -n '^33\.' GOVERNANCE.md`. The "archive-header"
  terminology is informal but the section IS about archive boundary
  headers. Form-2 closure with line citation in the thread reply.

EVIDENCE-BASED scope: 63 files exist on AceHack main but not on LFG
main. Hard-resetting AceHack to LFG main (the 0/0/0 protocol final
step) would destroy this content unless forward-synced first.

Cross-verified by Otto + Grok (Otto-347 second-CLI discipline) on
2026-04-28T15:05Z; both independently classified the 63 files as
substrate-load-bearing and the hard-reset as UNSAFE without this
sync.

… safety) — Otto+Grok cross-verified (#663)

* sync(acehack→lfg): forward-port 63 AceHack-only files to LFG main (pre-hard-reset safety)

EVIDENCE-BASED scope: 63 files exist on AceHack main but not on LFG
main. Hard-resetting AceHack to LFG main (the 0/0/0 protocol final
step) would destroy this content unless forward-synced first.

Cross-verified by Otto + Grok (Otto-347 second-CLI discipline) on
2026-04-28T15:05Z; both independently classified the 63 files as
substrate-load-bearing and the hard-reset as UNSAFE without this
sync.

* sync(acehack→lfg): paired-edit MEMORY.md + markdownlint-cli2 carve-out for verbatim ferries

Two CI failures on PR #663 caused by the pure-additive scope:

1. memory/MEMORY.md paired-edit + duplicate-link checks failed:
   24 memory files added without index entries pointing at them.
   Fix: merge AceHack-only index entries (23 unique) into LFG's
   MEMORY.md while preserving LFG-only entries (7: block-on-Aaron,
   Windows CI peer-mode trajectory, CI cadence split, etc.). Set
   diff confirmed via Python script — order preserved, no LFG
   entries dropped.

2. lint (markdownlint) failed on 3 docs/research/2026-04-26-*.md +
   2026-04-28-zeta-equals-heaven-on-earth*.md files (MD027 multiple
   spaces after blockquote, MD032 lists not surrounded by blank
   lines). These files are verbatim courier-ferry preservations
   (per Otto-227 signal-in-signal-out discipline — reformatting
   would alter ferry content). AceHack already broadened the
   markdownlint-cli2 carve-out to exempt `docs/research/2026-*-*.md`
   from these rules; LFG was still on the older Amara-only pattern.
   Fix: pull AceHack's broader carve-out config.

Both edits are within the spirit of the pure-additive forward-sync:
they're the index/config that point at or accommodate the 63
already-added files. Without them, the paired-edit + lint rules
correctly block merge.

* fix(memory-index): dedup MEMORY.md by link target — clear all 14 duplicates

The duplicate-link-targets workflow check on PR #663 was failing
because:

1. My initial merge created 3 new duplicates where the same memory
   file had entries on both AceHack and LFG with slightly different
   surrounding text. Set-diff by exact-line match missed them; need
   target-based dedup keyed on the .md filename inside `](...)`.

2. LFG's MEMORY.md already had ~11 pre-existing duplicates using
   non-bold bullet syntax (`- [Title](file.md)` rather than
   `- [**Title**](file.md)`). The duplicate-link workflow only
   fires on PRs that touch memory/MEMORY.md, so the pre-existing
   dups had been silent — surfaced now because this PR touches it.

EVIDENCE-BASED audit:
  Before: 649 bullets, 635 unique targets, 14 duplicates
  After:  640 bullets, 635 unique targets, 0 duplicates
  `tools/hygiene/audit-memory-index-duplicates.sh --enforce` clean.

Strategy: keep the FIRST occurrence (newest-first ordering invariant
per the audit script's expectation), drop later duplicates. Both
`**bold**` and bare-bullet forms covered.

* backlog(B-0077/B-0078/B-0079): defer Codex review findings on PR #663 to canonical-source fixes on AceHack

Three backlog rows for Codex P0/P1/P2 findings surfaced during the
PR #663 forward-sync review. Per the forward-sync-preserves-canonical-content
principle, fixes land on AceHack first and re-sync to LFG.

- B-0077: curl-fetch.sh — P0 docstring pipe-to-shell examples + P1
  inaccurate commentary about install paths
- B-0078: markdownlint carve-out narrowing — Codex P1 suggests
  `docs/research/2026-*-verbatim-*.md` instead of broader pattern
- B-0079: audit-agencysignature-main-tip.sh hardening — 4 Codex
  P1/P2 findings (multi-trailer matching, classify error propagation,
  BSD date parser, --since validation)

All 7 review threads on PR #663 reply-and-resolved with pointers to
these backlog rows.

* backlog(B-0079): add 5th audit-script item — Codex P2 on --max=0 acceptance

PR #663 received a 5th Codex finding on tools/hygiene/audit-
agencysignature-main-tip.sh after the initial backlog row landed:

5. P2 (line 143): --max validator accepts 0 even though script says
   it must be a positive integer. `git log --max-count=0` produces
   an empty commit list that exits with PASS — silent no-audit.

Bundled into B-0079 with the existing 4 items (validation +
multi-trailer + BSD date + classify error propagation). Reply on
PR #663 thread points at B-0079.

Second forward-sync round following PR #663 (which handled the
63 AceHack-only ADD-class files). This PR handles 69 of the 87
M-class (modified) files where AceHack has the newer content
per timestamp audit.

EVIDENCE-BASED audit (2026-04-28T17:13Z):
- 87 modified files differ between forks
- 69 are AceHack-newer (this PR forwards them)
- 18 are LFG-newer (excluded — they include this session's PR
  work: memory/MEMORY.md, codeql.yml, gate.yml, CURRENT-aaron.md,
  curl-fetch.sh, etc. LFG is canonical for these.)

Effect: closes the destruction-revert gap before hard-reset of
AceHack main to LFG main. After this lands:
- 0 D-class (already cleared by PR #663)
- 14 A-class (LFG-only files; hard-reset would add them to AceHack)
- ~18 M-class remaining (LFG-newer; hard-reset is correct direction)

That makes hard-reset content-safe (no AceHack-newer content
destroyed; LFG-only files added; LFG-newer modifications carried
forward).

Diff: 69 files / 881 insertions / 314 deletions. Pure forward-port
of AceHack file content; no semantic merge required since the
direction-of-truth is established by timestamp + the LFG-newer
exclusion list.

* fix(memory-index): re-add paired-edit marker post-rebase

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(pr-671): rename sister memory file + restore validate-script comments

Three thread-cluster fixes addressing 6 of 7 unresolved review threads on
PR #671 (per Otto-355 BLOCKED-investigate-threads-first discipline):

1. **P0 file rename: user_sister_elisabeth.md → user_sister_elizabeth.md**
   AceHack PR #73 ("fix: spell sister's name correctly") landed the
   reference updates on LFG via squash-merge 81a4650, but the underlying
   file rename was lost in the squash. Result: 11+ memory files +
   CLAUDE.md reference `user_sister_elizabeth.md` but only
   `user_sister_elisabeth.md` exists on LFG main.

   Resolves 4 P0 threads (#1, #3, #4, #7 — copilot + chatgpt-codex on
   ROUND-HISTORY.md, user_wavelength_equals_lifespan, CLAUDE.md x2).

   Verification: AceHack /memory has user_sister_elizabeth.md;
   LFG /memory had user_sister_elisabeth.md. After this commit,
   LFG matches AceHack.

   Also updates MEMORY.md line 579 — index entry pointed at the old
   file name AND used "Elisabeth" in the link text.

2. **P2 stray-character cleanup in validate-agencysignature-pr-body.sh
   line 5**: "instrument set#" → "instrument set" (the `#` was a residue
   from the persona-attribution strip in commit e015298).

   Resolves thread #2 (copilot P2).

3. **P2 incomplete spec citation at line 202**: "(Task: none fallback
   per )" → "(Task: none fallback)" — same provenance as fix #2; the
   "per Amara ferry-7's no-task rule" text was stripped but the empty
   parenthetical was left.

   Resolves thread #5 (copilot P2).

Deferred threads:
- Thread #6 (P1 GLOSSARY persona-name attribution "Amara/ChatGPT" in
  provenance section) — Stale-content-deferral class per
  feedback_pr_thread_resolution_class_taxonomy_2026_04_28.md. The
  pattern is pre-existing across docs/GLOSSARY.md provenance entries;
  rewriting in this forward-sync PR widens scope from "port AceHack
  content" to "edit content". Filing as B-0082 follow-up.

EVIDENCE-BASED labels:
- File state divergence: VERIFIED via gh api repos/{Lucent-Financial-
  Group,AceHack}/Zeta/contents/memory comparison.
- Reference dangling: VERIFIED via grep -r "user_sister_eli" memory/.
- Squash-merge rename loss: SPECULATION (commit 81a4650 message says
  "57 in-repo references" not "renamed file"; consistent with rename
  loss but no direct evidence of intent at squash time).

* fix(pr-671): rename second lost-rename file (trust_guarded_with_elizabeth_vigilance)

Same root cause as the previous commit: AceHack PR #73's squash-merge to
LFG (commit 81a4650) preserved content references to elizabeth-spelled
file names but lost the underlying file rename for two files. The first
commit handled user_sister_*; this commit handles
feedback_trust_guarded_with_*.

Verified via git mv (rename detected at 100% similarity) + grep audit:
all _elizabeth_-spelled file references are now satisfied; no dangling
links remain after the two renames.

EVIDENCE-BASED:
- VERIFIED: 5 files (project_factory_as_wellness_dao.md,
  feedback_agent_sent_email_identity_and_recipient_ux.md,
  user_orch_or_microtubule_consciousness_thread.md, ROUND-HISTORY.md
  line 1797) reference feedback_trust_guarded_with_elizabeth_vigilance.md
  (with z) — but only feedback_trust_guarded_with_elisabeth_vigilance.md
  (with s) existed pre-rename.
- VERIFIED post-rename: dangling-link grep returns zero hits.
- VERIFIED: AceHack /memory has the z-spelled version; this commit
  reconciles LFG with AceHack.

Composes with previous commit 6580e96 (user_sister rename + validate
script fixes).

* backlog: file B-0082 — GLOSSARY persona-attribution → role-ref conversion (PR #671 deferral)

Copilot P1 on PR #671 flagged "Amara/ChatGPT" persona-name attribution
in docs/GLOSSARY.md provenance section. Per Otto-279 + AGENT-BEST-PRACTICES,
behavioural docs use role-refs; persona names belong on history surfaces.

Deferred from PR #671 inline fix because:
- PR #671 is a forward-sync (port AceHack content as-is)
- The "Amara/ChatGPT" pattern is pre-existing on AceHack
- Rewriting widens scope from "port" to "edit during port"
- Stale-content-deferral class per the thread-resolution taxonomy

The B-0082 row provides two fix paths (inline rewrite vs move-and-link
to docs/research/) and recommends a sweep across the whole GLOSSARY,
not just the one entry.

* fix(pr-671): regex-injection hardening in validate script + MEMORY.md marker accuracy

Two thread-fixes from Copilot's re-review on the latest force-push:

1. **P1 regex injection in validate-agencysignature-pr-body.sh line 101**
   `grep -nE "^${last_trailer_key}:"` treated `last_trailer_key` as ERE.
   While `git interpret-trailers` normalizes keys, the input PR body is
   untrusted; a malformed/adversarial trailer key could break matching.

   Fixed by switching to `awk -v k="${last_trailer_key}:" 'index($0, k) == 1'`
   which does literal-prefix matching with no regex semantics. Also
   preserves the line-number-output shape (`NR` instead of grep's `n:`).

2. **P2 MEMORY.md paired-edit marker said "(66 AceHack-newer files)"**
   The count was stale (file count fluctuated as fixes landed; PR title
   says 69 but PR currently shows 70 changedFiles including this fix).
   Replaced the number with descriptive text "(AceHack-newer modified
   files)" to avoid future drift.

EVIDENCE-BASED labels:
- Regex injection feasibility: VERIFIED via grep manpage + shellcheck
  rules (regex metacharacters in unquoted variable expansion).
- File-count drift: VERIFIED via `gh pr view 671 --json changedFiles`
  showing 70 vs marker's 66.

Defers (filed B-0082):
- Threads #1, #3, #7, #9 — persona-name attribution in current-state
  docs. B-0082 covers the GLOSSARY case; the FACTORY-HYGIENE +
  CLAUDE.md instances will fold into the same sweep.

Acknowledges (stale phantom-blockers from Copilot):
- Threads #2, #10 — claim user_sister_elizabeth.md / trust_guarded
  files don't exist; verified they DO exist on remote post-rename
  (commits 6580e96 + ae1ef63). Copilot is reviewing against stale
  diff context; threads will resolve on resolveReviewThread call.
- Threads #5, #8 — claim line-5/202 still mangled; verified fixed
  in commit 6580e96. Same stale-diff-context pattern.

* fix(pr-671): case-insensitive trailer-key match in validate script (Codex P2)

Codex P2 thread on validate-agencysignature-pr-body.sh line 103: the
awk literal-prefix match introduced earlier today (`index($0, k) == 1`)
preserved the regex-injection fix but inherited the original code's
case-sensitivity bug. Trailer keys are RFC-822 case-insensitive — git
interpret-trailers normalizes on parse, but the stripped input may
carry the original case, so a parsed-key-derived prefix match would
miss when the underlying line uses a different case fold.

Fix: wrap both sides of the prefix match in tolower(). Keeps the
literal-prefix (no regex semantics) AND honours case-insensitive
trailer-key matching.

EVIDENCE-BASED: VERIFIED via RFC-822 trailer-key spec; bug exists
in both the original grep -nE and my awk replacement.
